Workshop: Political economy in the computational age

What was once a fundamental problem for scholars of political economy - the scarcity and inaccessibility of relevant information - has turned into an abundance of data. This opens avenues for new perspectives on political behavior. The workshop brings together researchers from various subfields who work on topics as diverse as communication of political elites or attitudes in times of war. What is common to all presented research is the innovative use of data and computational methods to tackle new as well as classic questions from a political economy perspective. The Hertie School's Political Economy cluster invites everyone who is interested to join the workshop and participate in lively discussions!

Further support to the group is provided by Berlin Centre for Consumer Policies (BCCP), DIW Graduate Center, Berlin Doctoral Program in Economics and Management Science, Transregional Collaborative Research Center SFB-TR 190: Competition and Rationality and Berlin Macroeconomic Network. Financial support for BERA is provided by the Leibniz Association through funds from the Leibniz Competition.
